The Rose
Murex Ramosus shell lamp  

 

The name of this shell is Chicoreus ramosus, common name the ramose murex. Ramose is an ancient Egyptian name, meaning "Born of the sun god Ra". In this sense, light is no stranger to this shell.....
 

Anyway, the shell itself is an interesting object to watch and with the light inside, even more features are visible. This makes the lamp an outstanding decoration item (see pictures below).

 

There is pink colored line along the spikes of the shell, which is glowing bright in the light. The surface of the shell body is not smooth but rippled (like small waves on a water surface). Each of these ripples is marked by a darker line, which runs around the shell body outward to the spikes. All the the darker lines together, look like rings of a tree.

 

 

The curved leaf-like spikes are illuminated on the side pointing to the shell body and darker on the outer side. This highlights the structure of  the spikes and projects interesting shadows on the surrounding walls. In a coiled spiral the body is getting smaller and darker to the top. This shell is elegantly like flower but hard, stiff and spiky on the other side. A rose indeed....
